Who here shaves their heads?
 

I saw the back of my head in a convenience store's security camera and it's getting thinner than I'm comfortable with. So I embraced it and shaved it.

Looking for tips, tricks, etc. for getting a really smooth shave and keeping burn and bumps to a minimum.

Thanks in advance.

You should try some Rogain and head and shoulders.

I had thinning hair then I started counting calories and working out more...it really isn't rocket science.

Keep your junk clean but leave your roof covered...

Too late.

kinda giggled when I read "coochie cream". then I remembered my son left a tube of stuff he shaves with called "man jack" in my shower a couple weeks ago. I think I'd just as soon use the coochie cream.
sec

I'm sure he's left plenty of "Man Jack" in your shower...

I have thinning hair as well. Just like you seeing the back of your head from a camera, I was video taping with a tripod(back in the day) my daughters birthday. I was helping her unwrap the gifts. I reviewed the tape and thought "who is that fat bald dude"?

I have, but don't care for the total chrome dome. When I can grab some hair and pull a bit, time to break out the shears. Get a "Wahl" brand shear set. I normally use the shortest clip-on thingie (green ~.5mm?) and blaze away. It leaves a little thicker then a 5:00 shadow. I do it once a month.

One other thing to think about. Do you have the nice type of pate that will look good with little hair. Some people do not. Ask the wife. My wife commented, after seeing an army picture of me shaved, "You look good bald". Thusly, I was blessed.

The big question is - what kind of facial hair do you wear with your shaved head?

I do. Well, I did before it started falling out lol.

If you are going to for the shine, there is a "finger" blade. I don't know the proper term. It's a ring like sleeve that you slide on a finger with a blade running length wise on the underside. Hop in the shower, lather the head, then stroke like you were combing your hair.

Edge gel, Mach III blades. Right now I have a full beard from top of my ear to top of my ear.

Obligatory old joke:

There once was a blonde who went to the Dr. and complained about her husband having really bad dandruff. The Dr. told her to give him some head and shoulders.

A week passed and the blonde showed back up at the doctor's office.

"Can I help you?" the doctor asked.

"Yes, I've been racking my brains but have no idea how to give shoulders."


Feel free to neg rep at will.

Full beard.
